I have an SRM on both my bikes, but only one powercontrol, which I use on both. I just did a recalibration, so I have 2 new slope values. But when I pair one crankset and then pair the other, the slope value seems to remain the same. Is there a way to put 2 slope values into the PC7 or do I need to adjust it everytime I switch bikes?

Thanks,

D

Does the PC7 have the ability to send/update an SRM's slope like a Garmin Edge 500/510/705/800/810? How did you update/send the new slope to your SRM's after calibration? Although I own a PC6, I do not think the PC7 has 'bike profiles' like a Garmin Edge thus, can only pair with one powermeter at a time and since the PC7 auto-detects the slope of the currently paired SRM, would seem to indicate that if the slope stays the same, you are still paired with the first powermeter.

This is one of the reasons that I always use the 'manual' setting on the PowerController.

If you recalibrate the PowerMeter yourself and get a new slope value, you cannot input that new value into the PowerMeter. Accordingly, the automatic 'pairing' option for the slope will not work. What you can do is switch the PowerController slope setting to 'manual' and input the slope that way. You can do this either from your PowerController or from your Personal computer at home.

Tnx Aerogurl, will be trying that as soon as I get a hold of a Garmin .

I do realize I can input them manually, have been doing so the past few days when switching bikes, but it's annoying to do every time (even though it's a 10 second thing) and I'm sure I'll end up forgetting to do it eventually..

you can absolutely accomplish this. do you have access to an edge 500 or 800?

if so, you can use the edge to update the value stored in the SRM meter itself.

i have multiple meters and periodically check the slope. i make the update via the garmin. i keep the pc7 set to 'auto'.

the pc7 picks up the new slope. you can check this on the pc7 or post-workout within SRMwin or SRMmac to verify.

it is annoying at best and error-prone at worst to have to remember to (manually) set a new slope for each bike you ride.

if you need more details, let me know.

I've updated the slope of one crankset using a Garmin 500, but would like to verify this in SRMwin like you're saying. The new slope of one set of cranks is 17,9 ,but manually I put the slope of my other powermeter in the PC7 (19.1). If I now pair the SRM with the 17.9 cranks and hook the PC7 up to SRMwin and open the settings window it still displays the 19.1 slope. Is there a way I can see the slope for the rides specifically done with the crankset that has the updated slope?

Thanks in advance!

Geoff, I did not turn automatic on yet, just did and I see the slope bracket turning grey (saying 0,0). Will this make the Powercontrol use the slope that's now stored in the cranks?

I haven't updated the slope of my other SRM in the cranks, at first I was thinking of leaving that new slope in the PC7 if it would use the slope of the other PM straight from the cranks. But then if I need to select "automatic" that doesn't work right?

I hope the above is not as confusing as I am about this
